Hi, without any explanation I can only speculate what's the purpose of this patch. I can see it hides the basic syscalls to wrappers and prints messages in case of an error value.
Currently, the error codes are mostly handled and the error messages are printed as needed, we don't want to see all of them or not exactly at the time the error happens. I don't see any reason why the indirection layer is needed, the bare syscalls are usually enough. More complexity can be hidden to wrappers like open_file_or_dir. The code that's shared with kernel should stick to the kernel naming and generic functions, for that there's kerncompat.h . The userspace code shares the CodingStyle from kernel, but obviously has to use the userspace API so not every function starts with btrfs_ prefix etc. d. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
